Corrupted Audio Files - please help
Last night I tried to make a copy of a Pro Tools 5.1 session (OS9). The folder is 800 MB so I divided the audio files folder into two folders, Audio 1 and Audio 2 because the whole thing can't fit onto one CDR. I opened Toast and dragged the Audio Files 2 folder into Toast and the computer crashed. I restarted and now most of the files that were in Audio Files 2 are unreadable by Pro Tools. They are 24 bit, 48k .wav files. I tried opening a new Pro Tools session and importing the files but Pro Tools says the files are unreadable. Any ideas on how to proceed? I do not have a back up of these files and I'm starting to panic. Is there a piece of recovery software that deals with something like this? Should I go to a file recovery service?
Thanks for any help, Greg Frey |

Re: Corrupted Audio Files - please help
The file has some pretty bad corruption - offset bytes within the WAV file and no header. You should run DiskWarrior on the drive to make sure it's okay.

Re: Corrupted Audio Files - please help
I had the same thing happen to me in 6.9 using Digi Firewire80 and Glyph GT drives. I tried everything; DiskWarrior, Data Rescue II, Peak Pro...(it has a "recover audio" function), create a new session then import audio to track, Pro Tools told me that it was an unreadable file. Nothing worked. I lost the track. I was however able to recreate the problem with different sessions. It occurs somehow while draging and droping files across different drives. Now I only use Pro Tools to save files to different drives and have had no problems. Good luck.
